Certain parts of our Website may ask you to provide personal information voluntarily: for example, we may ask you to provide your contact details in order to request a demo or register an account. When you visit our Website, we may collect certain information automatically from your device or you may decide to provide information voluntarily via the chat bot function included on each page of our Website. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area, this information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws.
​
Specifically, the information we collect automatically may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser-type, broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) and other technical information.

The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.
​
If you are a job candidate (“Candidate”) or employee (“Employee”) using our Services on behalf of one of our customers who are engaging us to provide the Services to them (the “Potential Employers”), we are collecting and processing your personal information on behalf of the Potential Employers. In such cases, we are acting as a data processor and are collecting and processing your personal information on their behalf and in accordance with their instructions. The types of information typically collected are described in detail in this section below. What we do not collect, and you should not be asked by Potential Employers to provide to Avary.ai, are things like protected health information, financial information, date of birth, social security or other government-issued identification number, and other sensitive personal information.
​
Information that you provide voluntarily
In using the Services, Candidates and Employees may be required to provide certain personal information about themselves – for example, their name, company name, address, email address, telephone number, contact details, username and password (username and password is for Employees only, as Candidates do not create accounts within the Avary.ai platform), and other information as requested by the Potential Employer. Candidates may complete a job interview through the Services which can include information such as work history, skills, experience, abilities, work style and other responses to questions, as well as submissions through a variety of types of media including video/audio interviews, coding challenges, training exercises and the like.

Log Files
Avary follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
​​​
Data Retention Policy
Avary retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including as described in this Privacy Policy and to comply with legal, regulatory, or internal policy requirements.
​
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
​
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
​
Where we are collecting personal information on behalf of our customers (Potential Employers), we will retain the personal information in accordance with our services agreements with them and their instructions.
​
If you have any questions about our data retention policies or would like to request deletion of your personal data, please contact us.
